The Story

The award-winning play based on an actual event that took place during the arms negotiations in Geneva in 1982. The Russian and American diplomats decide to leave the “table” to see if they can work things out away from the onlookers. A play of humor and feeling that leads to the idea that hope and trust are goals worth pursuing.
